Topic: FOUND: Car keys at Alki
Posting for a reader:
Found these keys on the concrete Safe Street barriers at Alki Ave SW and 64th PL SW this morning, Feb 6. Somewhat stuck together, might be old enough that someone has replaced them, but they won’t have to worry that they were stolen. I have taken them home, can return if someone can identify them.
Topic: Using donation bins properly
There are donation bins that are clearly marked shoes and clothing but weekly, people use these as a transfer station. Please stop. I have tried to work with the charity, property owner, and the city over several years with no results. People never cease to amaze me with their ignorance or laziness or frugality. There are signs on these bins that say no dumping. People who leave their junk are illegally dumping on private property. It leaves the area looking like crap and the property owner has to get rid of the junk at their own expense. I would include a photo but I don’t know how to do that or if it’s allowed.

Amazon packages for Niall K. (full last name intentionally omitted from this post for security) were recently delivered to us by mistake. Our address was incorrectly on the label, so we have no way of bringing these to you.
Call 412-657-4783 with a description of what you’re missing and confirm your last name :)
Amazon is refunding the original purchaser, so you won’t be out of pocket. However, we’d love to unite these with their intended recipient in case they’re needed urgently.

I have a Merlin app that can identify birds by their call. A few days ago it picked up on an American Barn Owl. I googled and found that someone had a sighting in Schmitz park in 2020. I also see a comment in forum about an 8 year old getting scratched in Lincoln Park.
It was in the morning when my app heard it. I do feed the birds so, I have a lot of birds and squirrels.
I guess the Barn owl eat small rodents but also can die if people try to exterminate rats with poison.I live down by Delridge on Brandon and feed the birds. Kind of curious if others have seen one. Thanks. JRH

Hiya and good morning!
So here is my ideal situation…Might as well ask!
~You are a person that LOVES dogs, but currently does not have one.
~You work from home M-F and are an early riser.
~You are flexible in that this wouldn’t be a weekly ask, just when traveling opportunities take dog’s mum away from her.
~You have knowledge and experience in caring for animals.
~You want to make some extra $$.
~You are a good communicator and reliable.I am looking for a person that my dog can stay with during the day for various length’s of time (days in the week). Meaning…when I am traveling, my partner would bring our dog to you on his way to work (early) and then pick her back up around 4:00 on the days he goes to work M-F.
If you are interested in talking more about what this could look like…Please write back!
Thanks so much!!!
I’ve been trying to work out who owns a particular house in the States, mostly out of curiosity but also because my cousin is thinking about making an offer on a small place in Florida. In the UK it’s fairly straightforward with the Land Registry, but the US system feels a bit fragmented. I’m wondering how people usually go about this without hiring a solicitor straight away. Is it realistic to find reliable ownership details online, or do you always hit a wall unless you pay or know where to look?

Thank you,
YasminHi WS neighbors,
Ive lived in West Seattle the past five years and I’m working on a side project focused on helping small local businesses understand where their money is really going with suppliers (coffee, food, delivery apps, utilities, packaging, POS systems, etc.).I’m looking for 2–3 local business owners (coffee shops, childcare, gyms, restaurants, retail, etc.) who would be open to letting me do a free “supplier checkup” for them.
It’s not salesy and there’s no obligation, I just analyze where costs, risks, or missed opportunities might exist with vendors and share a simple report with what I find.
I’m doing the first few for free so I can learn, refine the model, and (if it’s useful) get feedback.
If you own a small business here in West Seattle and are curious, feel free to comment or DM me at lemkeaustin@gmail.com— Happy to explain more. Thanks!
West Seattle, Washington
